A few weeks ago I was in the dairy aisle at the grocery store, picking up some half & half for my coffee when I spotted some Coffee Mate Peppermint Mocha creamer. Sounded yummy to me and I immediately thought it would be great for a martini… A Peppermint Mocha-tini!
Turns out it was perfect for a martini! I love peppermint and I love chocolate so I knew I would love this Peppermint Mocha-tini. It was so good in fact I think I had three of them (no judging allowed). This martini would make a very pretty after dinner (or before) cocktail for the Christmas holiday season. It’s so easy to make too. Just mix a little vodka with the creamer and that’s it. Of course, you could always be a little more decadent and add a bit of chocolate syrup if you want too!
